Nanotyrannus35 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Happy almost Halloween! Show us the scariest thing that has ever happened to one of your fossils or something about fossils that is related to halloween. Mine is this. I'd bought a fake mosasaur jaw but I didn't know it was fake. I'd put it in the sink to clean it off and then the whole thing crumbled. I did get some mosasaur teeth out of it though.

At least you didn't really lose a mosasaur jaw, you just lost the money you paid for it! What's worse it putting a real fossil under the tap to rinse it off and having it crumble. I've done that, though not with anything as spectacular as a mosy jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth_ Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Not a fossil but the jaws from a large Mako are terrifying (even more terrifying when the rest of the shark is attached to them!) I occasionally take it out of the cabinet and show my cat - just pure fear, he runs away every time haha 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the megs are gifts from forum members so the bell jar, keeps them dust free and safe. I think you’re cat would like my sharks head because it still smells a little fishy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abstraktum Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The size between a Meg and a modern great white... The Meg tooth is 5.64 in and the great white tooth comes from an 18 foot great white. Yes we measured it in this topic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanotyrannus35 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Starting it up again this year with an oreodont scary story. Below is a partial oreodont skull I bought. One side of the skull is complete, while the other is gone. Some say at night, he looks for the rest of his skull in the badlands. But he can't find it, so he just sits there, a smiling skull, and waits for you to fossil hunt in the badlands. 2 Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
